The Gran Turismo Awards celebrate excellence and
innovation in the automotive industry for SEMA show exhibitors, as selected
by Gran Turismo creator Kazunori Yamauchi. The 10th annual
Gran Turismo Awards show was held last night in Las Vegas, with hip hop superstar Snoop Dogg as
host.

Already a star as part of the Toyota Racing Dream Build Challenge,
DragQuoia grabbed attention in its public debut at Toyota's SEMA Show press
conference earlier this week with its radical design features, race-ready
character and ear-splitting NHRA sound track.

"This is a vehicle that really embodied the entire spirit of SEMA," said
Toyota National Engagement Marketing and Motorsports Manager Keith Dahl. "It's just over-the-top and the fans
loved it."

DragQuoia is the brainchild of Antron
Brown, who commissioned the Motorsports Technical Center in Torrance, Calif., to build the SUV for him to
compete in the Toyota Racing Dream Build Challenge. Chuck Wade and his team at Motorsports Technical
Center produced a completely unique, high-quality build that looks, sounds,
and is ready to rumble. The build process was documented extensively on
the Toyota Racing Dream Build Challenge Facebook page
(Toyota Racing Dream Build), where fans followed team progress
via photos and video.

"It's a great honor to have DragQuoia win this award," Wade said.
"Yamauchi-san and his team at Gran Turismo are huge racing
enthusiasts who take their car selections seriously. Only the best get in
their door."
